Enjoy summer whilst it is here - our winter is wet and blustery.</p> <p>Thank you Suz. The coat is the star - and it’s a chance to build around it.</p> <p>Thanks Karie and Minaminu - I think with prints it is either a definite yes or a definite no. Or for me anyway.</p> <p>Lisa and Lyn - I am drawn to warm colours at the moment. The rust cords are a fun way to push that. Wearing them today with orchid which I like!</p> <p>Thanks Jaime, Suntiger and April. Brooklyn pointed out this coat for me and I tried it on and purchased it in Melbourne last year. It’s been a real star piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328372 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:28:24 +0000 Bonnie 2328372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this new collection of outfits. Makes me look forward to fall/winter dressing. The dress is really lovely and what a great coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328371 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 23:44:36 +0000 Sal 2328371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Star.&nbsp; I am enjoying my hair too.&nbsp; I liked all these looks - it's very wet here this year so I feel like I am constantly dodging the rain.</p> <p>Thanks Jenni - the hair is working in the wet!!&nbsp; I loved the dress with the coat - and look forward to wearing it in spring with sneakers or sandals too.</p> <p>Sisi - thank you!&nbsp; I liked the cream sandals a lot - and the blouse will be really good when the weather warms up.&nbsp; These elevated essentials are good for me.</p> <p>Thank you Olive Green - I love the coat that Brooklyn chose for me!!</p> <p>Brooklyn - I never have as many winter options so I end up repeating an awful lot.&nbsp; I can cope well with cold - but the rain - ugh!&nbsp; The coat dress combo was an instant winner.&nbsp; And the puffer vest works well in our very casual office - it's boring but very very practical!!</p> <p>Thanks Robin - these black boots are a bit more in favour in 2023 than the last three years.&nbsp; It's funny how this year they feel right whereas last year I wore my navy ones all the time.</p> <p>Jenn - I don't know - I am maybe not leaning into the bold elements as much (less stripes, less bright colour and chunky pieces).&nbsp; I am not wearing scarves as much.&nbsp; When I tried the socks I contemplated that it was not as streamlined or figure flattering - but then I decided I did not care.&nbsp; I am trying to embrace that attitude.</p> <p>Loving this palette too Angie.&nbsp; It's working well this winter - I am not wearing my bright colours as much.</p> <p>(will reply to the rest in my lunch break)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328358 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 20:19:56 +0000 Suz 2328358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, <b>Sally,</b> the dress is <b>SO</b> fab on you!!

I can see that being incredibly versatile. And your dress is beautiful - not sofa-like at all!

Please carry on!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328155 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 14:05:46 +0000 Jenn 2328155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may feel like you're battling style-wise this season, but WOW. I love you in these earthy blush tones and the pattern on the new dress makes me swoon! Do you think your wavy hair has you leaning into the "soft and pretty" or does the "soft and pretty" have you leaning into the wavy hair? Either way, you look great. Number 1 is my favorite. The ankle socks and oxfords are an unexpected and modern touch</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328149 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 12:30:49 +0000 RobinF 2328149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that coat! Such a nice color. That's a great dress, nice print and looks modern. I also like the casual looks with black boots.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328137 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:05:43 +0000 Brooklyn 2328137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful new dress. You had me at floral. Very nice with your/my coat And you are a knockout in your puffer vest. </p> <p>As you know, I love winter dressing. I’ve been doing lots of experimenting. But I still can’t wait for Summer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328136 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:03:32 +0000 Olive Green 2328136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look very relaxed and comfortable in your clothes, which to my mind, makes them perfect.&nbsp;<br />Still getting my mind around winter clothing…it’s all heat advisory, all the time, here.&nbsp;<br />The pinkish-camel coat is a great neutral on you, and the closed cream shoes have a real vibe to them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328126 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 09:57:38 +0000 Sisi 2328126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your new additions! Beautiful dress, lovely colours and pattern, not sofa-looking at all. I like the modern look of the cream woven sandals&nbsp; and the white blouse looks interesting and functional. You look fab in all your outfits !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328123 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 08:20:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2328123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally I agree with Star, the first thing I noticed was your amazing hair. This slight change of style you’ve had for maybe 6 months (??) is really awesome.<br /> The socks look great with the Beau Coops pink shoes and the new dress is stunning with your coat and bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328121 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 07:55:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2328121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new dress is really fab with the coat and boots - great outfit.&nbsp; My favourites are 6 &amp; 7, my edgy coming out - it suits you too!&nbsp; May I say your hair is really looking fab, this length and style is perfect for you IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328114 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 06:54:55 +0000 Sal 2328114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou!&nbsp; I love the dress too - plan to wear it tomorrow to a networking event as well.</p> <p>I think with no new denim in a couple of years and slight dissatisfaction with my sweaters, I am a bit bored with my winter clothes.&nbsp; I am tired of the pink sweater and the blue is a bit of challenge to wear somehow.</p> <p>My Dad just spent a few days in Perth - he loved it - but it was colder than he anticipated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328109 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 06:40:28 +0000 Bijou 2328109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the new dress, it looks sensational on you, both with and without your coat. The coat is stunning on you, how fab to find a dress that works so beautifully with it. Nothing 'sofa like' about that dress, your comment made me smile.</p> <p>The new additions are practical, they look to be perfect wardrobe additions. When it is really cold, I default to wearing jeans with boots most days. I always feel the least fashionable on very cold and very hot days as I dress for comfort more than fashion. I usually make sure that I am wearing one item that I love (today it is a big and cosy knitted red poncho with faux fur collar). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/may-and-june-2023-shopping-review-and-wiw#post-2328107 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 06:06:08 +0000 Sal 2328107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>May and June have been busy months personally with some lovely things on - a weekend with dear friends in the city, a weekend with some teens away in the lake/mountains - and of course my Australian trip.</p> <p>I don't have many WIW but will show a few, mostly with older pieces.</p> <p>Prior to my travels my only addition was EVA Birkenstocks which came in very very useful and I managed to clean well after the trip (Bijou is right - the red dirt is pervasive).</p> <p>Whilst away I did add three pieces (and a hat) - one planned, and two spontaneously.</p> <p>- Black lululemon wunderunder tights (expensive but I love them- I wanted to try them on prior to purchasing)<br /> - cream sandals - found these in Broome on discount and love them for next summer<br /> - white blouse - it's a pretty summer blouse for weekend wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>And since I have been home I added a floral dress - it's a good weight for me and perfect for winter with a coat and boots, or spring with sneakers.&nbsp; It goes with all my shoe options!!</p> <p>Two of these pieces seem to be soft and pretty - I will see if I lean more into that emotion as the year goes on.</p> <p>I have added 16 items this year to date - which feels a lot for half way through the year. The collection is below.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=12377">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....tion=12377</a></p> <p>I'm open to new jeans if I can find a pair in a new shape or wash, and I am also considering a blazer or jacket - as well as a new swimsuit.</p> <p>I always battle through winter style wise and this year is no different.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 1 and 2 - work and visit to the lawyer - experimentation with socks</p> <p>Pic 3-5 - new dress and haircut.&nbsp; I hope you don't think I am a sofa by the wallpaper.</p> <p>Pic 6 - dinner with friends.&nbsp; At their house.</p> <p>Pic 7 - heading to work.&nbsp; New work puffer vest.</p> <p>Pic 8 - dinner with friends - out this time!</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p>
